Profile

Water's Edge has matrimony covered. The restaurant's stunning Queens-side view of Manhattan has been the backdrop for many a proposal, while the huge private party space has hosted countless wedding ceremonies. The focus is on seafood, with additional menu space reserved for local farm favorites like Hudson Valley foie gras and Long Island duck. Among the expertly prepared dishes, the bronzini is the star: a tender, de-boned Mediterranean sea bass. Though the food doesn't always transcend the immediate surroundings, shortcomings are easily lost in the million-dollar view. — Ethan Wolff

My Fiance and I dined there recently and had a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive and the food was wonderful. I had the organic roast chicken and some creme brulee. My favorite part was the view.

Delicious in Every Way!

We dined at Water's Edge this past Thanksgiving and it was perfect.... the atmosphere was festive, the service was attentive and positive and the food was delicious. My husband ordered a bottle of wine from their list of recomendations and we were very pleased - it truly complimented our meal. The ferry ride there and back completed the experience with memories that will stay with us for a long time.
